Recent research from the Association of Investment Companies suggests that 78% of investors plan to make use of their ISA allowance this year. 40% plan to use only the shares element , representing a 1% rise since last year, while just over a quarter plan to use both their cash ISA and investment ISA allowance, again representing a 1% increase on the previous year. more

A recent survey conducted by NS&I indicates that the demographic of ISA savers has undergone quite a few changes in recent years. A survey of over 1,200 UK adults revealed some interesting insights into the behavior of savers in the past few years. more

Easter ISA deadline warning

03 March 2010 / by Rebecca Sargent

Savers could miss out on billions if they fail to take notice of when this year's ISA deadline falls, Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks have warned.

With Good Friday falling on 2 April, and Easter Monday on 5 April, savers may find they have fewer opportunities to beat the tax year deadline, as ISA providers have less time to process applications and transfers.

According to research from Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks, 10 per cent of ISA applications are made in the last two days before the tax year ends, which could be as many as 1.5 million this year.

Missing out because of when the deadline falls could cost around £4billion in ISA investments.

Commenting, Steve Reid, retail director at Clydesdale Bank said: "With Easter falling so early this year, if you haven't already done so the opportunity to invest in an ISA this year is that little bit less. The ISA allowance isn't flexible so beat the deadline and pay less tax."
